Last year I was fishing Belmont Dam on April 6th,  We drove to many other lakes that day that the Ice was unsafe.

Back sometime in what I believe was the late 80s 0r mid 90s we fished up in the back of Shannon Run right up until the last day of March, used a board though. At one point there was 15''! Someone had a bass tournament scheduled on 4 Apr that had to be cancelled.  Absolutely slammed good size gills that year!

I wasn't fishing at the time but way back when I was only two or three years old Gambler said he fished LA until the end of March.

All I can say is it won't be long now boys.  Enjoy it while we still have it and most of all stay safe.

Last year we were on Glendale in PA on March 29.  Caught tons of fish that day and the ice was 13 inches thick.  Did use a plank to get on d/t open water about 3 feet from the bank.  Hoping for later this year ;D

Lake Arthur has 20 inches in places with a foot of snow to insulate. I hope we get to April! That'd be amazing!

March 14 th on three occasions. Always walk the plank and got wet to my waist a few years back. Over and inch of rain coming,that's bad news,with all the snow melting,shoreline will be a problem real soon.
